Lil Baby surprisingly found himself mentioned in the ongoing feud between rap titans Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” is stirring things up, and Lil Baby isn’t too thrilled. On the song, Kendrick used Lil Baby’s name to highlight Drake’s alleged dependency on Atlanta artists to elevate his status. While the track hit some streaming milestones, not everyone is happy with the lyrical choices.
Lil Baby, in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, made it clear he didn’t want to be involved. He expressed his discomfort with being dragged into the beef, noting it’s not the side of hip hop he’s interested in. “I don’t want that type of stuff at work,” he said, emphasizing his aim to keep his craft drama-free.
Despite the controversy, Lil Baby maintains a positive relationship with Drake. Having collaborated on several hits together, their professional camaraderie remains intact. This goes to show that even amidst rap rivalries, some bonds stay strong.
Meanwhile, Kendrick explained his intent behind “Not Like Us,” describing it as a reflection of authenticity and moral values. He stressed the song’s alignment with his personal ethos. “It’s the energy of who I am,” he said, targeting those who resonate with his message.
On the flip side, Drake isn’t taking the diss lightly. He filed legal actions against Universal Music Group, accusing them of unethical practices to boost Kendrick’s track. The legal battle questions the integrity of streaming numbers and includes allegations of defamation, stirring the pot even more.
As court dates loom, the tension between Kendrick and Drake escalates. What began as lyrical jabs has now crossed into the legal realm, leaving fans and insiders watching closely to see the outcome.
Lil Baby finds himself an unwilling participant in the high-profile clash between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, yet he stands firm in his desire to separate from the feud. As tensions rise, the hip-hop world waits to see how these dynamics unfold.
